Race aginst Time with Marketing

[Javier Rosales]

Hello bigger pockets community! am a sailor looking to invest, in multifamily or SFR for buy and hold. am only home for about 3-4 months, but i can stretch it more if i half to. What marketing would be best to get faster results? I did direct mail to preforclosures and got no calls. I also did free and clears, but got some upset phone calls, from home owners that they weren't selling and to be removed from my list. absentee owner, nothing as well. No luck with bandit signs, but if i would have used a more local number, my results may be different. the only thing bringing consistent leads is from my agent and wholesellers and an aquestion. Any advice?
